it quits becoming a land vehicle when you hit about 200. to prove my point here is a video as an example:

Wow. I have known about their feats on the salt at Bonneville for a long time. But I didn't know that Racing Beat hit 200+ on the 1.3 mi. at El Mirage. That is impressive.

I don't believe the FD tranny and 4.10 rear end are geared for 200 mph, more like 195 at 8000 rpm in 5th gear. I'm going off of something I read way back when on the big list.....

I wouldn't call that car a joke, many cars have flipped trying for that type of record.

How much difference does wheel size make on top speed. How fast would you be goin at 8000 rpm with 18 inch wheels?
I want my car to hit 200 some day, but with someone else test driving it for me

Loctite is cool.
Breaking 200mph is HONESTLY one of my goals for the current FC I'm building., and I plan on running it in the Silver State Challenge. I haven't made much progress on it lately due to work, school etc. But when it gets closer to resembling a car I will post some pics up. Its just a seam-welded, foam-filled shell awaiting a cage at the moment.

turbojeff, this is wat i meant was a joke...not the video
you would prob need a windtunnel chamber to find out how much drag/downforce is to much for reaching certain speeds. but formula cars have this done and they still go flipping through the air. the testing must not take into consideration changes in wind duration or direction.

Actually it doesn't.
Yes, you'd need the HP it takes to reach 8,000 rpm in 5th gear (and overcome the aero drag), but once you get there, if 8,000 rpm is your rev limit, then another 1,000 hp won't help you. The car will only go X mph, at X rpm, in X gear.

you could also raise the RPM limit to higher than 8k.. there are several people that retune their PFC to rev 10k.
I think its doable.. but I wouldn't want to do it in my car.
Wasn't there someone while back that posted saying they hit 200MPH on some street in FL?? LOL!
